Revlon Coral Reef!

I've begun to layer my makeup more, specifically lip products. So i've been trying to branch out and pair totally random colors, which has been fun!! I found a wonderful layering lipgloss in this process! Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Coral Reef. It's a beautiful orange/coral color! It looks bright orange in the tube, and even when you swatch it on your hand... but I can't believe how many different uses I've gotten out of it!

Just to name a few, I pair it with MAC's viva glam gaga (the pink one), which makes an AMAZING pinky-coral, bright but still wearable. I didn't know how to wear such a bright light pink lip, and this warms it up just perfectly!! I have also worn it over MAC's lollipop loving lipstick, which is a peach with green, yes green, duochrome. I love that lipstick soo much, and finally I found a gloss to tone down the green just enough for me to LOVE this lipstick that much more!!

I really look forward to experimenting more, and trying out other Revlon lipglosses in this line! I know they have a light lilac shade, as well as a nude and other beautiful shades! The consistancy is wonderful as well, I feel that they aren't sticky, but are relatively long lasting! And they're only around $6 depending on where you buy them, which makes them that much better!!

So if you haven't tried these glosses yet, you should definitely try them out!! I'll have to update ya on other lip combinations I figure out as well.... I love experimenting!!

Fabulous face moisturizer...

So, I ordered myself something for my birthday, because that's how crazy I am!! But I am SOO happy to report that I made a great decision in buying this stuff!! I got the Lancome Bienfait Multi-Vital moisturizer with an spf of 30. When I first got this stuff, I noticed that I LOVE the packaging, so simple with a cute little Lancome rose on the top. As for the cream itself.... I was kind of put-off by the smell, it smelled soo much like sunscreen!! It made me nervous because my skin is sooo sensitive that I thought it would probably burn my skin right off... but I tried it anyway!! And I've been using it for about a week now... and I just LOVE it!! It sinks in quickly, and even makes my makeup look amazing on top of it!! I know it didn't say anything about balancing out your skin or anything, but I find that this stuff really keeps my oily T-zone relatively matte with just a hint of a dewy glow which matches the rest of my face. LOVE it!! So if you're in the market for a good moisturizer with spf, I HIGHLY recommend this stuff! :-)

product rave - Lancome Juicy Tubes Jelly

Don't you just LOVE the little free-bee's you get when you order things online?? Well, I recently got a package in the mail from Lancome, and one of the free things I got was their Juicy Tubes. Now, I am very very particular when it comes to my glosses. Most glosses I get I love for about a day and then find something wrong with them and try to use them up as quickly as possible before moving onto the next. Well, I had just found the Sally Hansen Lip Inflation (I'm pretty sure?) which I do totally love, and thought that was the best thing ever!! Well, lucky me I found something even BETTER!!

So this little Lancome Juicy Tubes Jelly I got is a sample size, but a very good sample size at that, it's .28 oz. or 8g. Mac lipglasses are only .17 oz, and you pay $14 a pop for them!! So first thoughts, great sample size!! Next to check out, the color. I received this in Magic Spell, which I would describe as a medium pink with gold shimmer. Honestly it's not far off from my actual lip color, which probably is a good reason why I like the color so much, but still!! The texture of this gloss is AMAZING!! I'm a fan of a little thicker gloss without any sunscreen taste (clinique's long last glosswear has that taste), and without any super sticky residue. I also like a gloss that has somewhat decent staying power (I realize it is gloss and so it's not going to last all day). So does this gloss fit the bill?? PERFECTLY!! I've applied this gloss just a few times today, and my lips do NOT feel overly sticky, it's not making my lips break apart, it stays very shiney for a long period of time, has a great scent, and goes nicely over lipstick to give it a little more shine.

So seriously, if you like a thicker gloss that isn't as sticky as mac, stays on for a good amount of time, and just makes your lips feel ubber-moisturized, give it a shot!! Or you can order something off the internet and pick one out as a free sample!! Or you could also wait for a giveaway from Lancome at a department store... so there ya go!! But if you get a chance, try one, I hope you'll like it as much as I do!! :-)

product review, purpose cleanser!!

So I have been using up a bottle of Clinique's Liquid Facial Soap Mild, and I'm not quite finished with it, but I decided to give the Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash a try. I found that the Clinique and the Purpose are both a clear kind of gel consistancy, and they both foam up quite nicely. But honestly, for my very dry, fair, sensitive skin, the Purpose wins hands down!!
Let me tell you why, first of all, it does a better job at getting rid of all makeup. Nothing is perfect, but this stuff comes pretty darn close to removing all my makeup, including mascara!! Second of all, it is sooo gentle!! It feels soo nice on my skin, and it doesn't seem to "strip" my skin as much as the Clinique. And 3rd of all, it costs $5 for a 6 oz. bottle, compared to $15 for a 6.7 oz. bottle of Clinique!! So hands down, a great cleanser!!! If you haven't tried it out, give it a shot!! It has won numerous awards, and I just figured it was a joke since it was so cheap. But seriously, give it a shot, I LOVE IT!!
